Re: Tutorial: Query the Apple database with Python for your access point BSSID

UPDATE:

While I was documenting the problem set, I noticed that the number of
decimal places is only 6 in the web page but 8 in the python query.

a. https://wavedigger.networksurvey.app/?tab=bssid&bssid=11-22-33-AA-BB-CC
b. python.exe apple_bssid_locator.py 11:22:33:AA:BB:CC

          *<https://i.postimg.cc/C5Pcb6RQ/decimal.jpg>*

But it doesn't really matter, at least not with theoretical calculations:
 6 decimal places: ~11 cm resolution.
 8 decimal places: ~1 mm resolution.
 The specific difference between them is only about 4cm.

What's really different is if you live in the boonies, the BSSID is you.
If you're in the city, the BSSID might be you or people close to you.

Note: It also matters how "close to your BSSID" the Apple devices are.
In my case, they're right here, next to me, so they're close to the router.
